them for EACH section in ALL terms. Teachers should verify settings using the directions below.

NO CALCULATION for all Quarters (Q1 and Q2 or Q3 and Q4).

4. Confirm Quarter Grade under Type is set to IN PROGRESS GRADE and Grading Scale is set to DISTRICT A-F for all Quarters.

5. Confirm WEIGHT CATEGORIES box is checked. 6. Confirm Citizenship under Type is set to

NO CALCULATION for all Quarters. 7. Do NOT check the LIMIT ASSIGNMENTS TO LAST or

CUMULATIVE GRADING STARTING IN box for any Grading Task.

Note: Grade Calculations will be preset by the District for all NEW sections created. Please verify settings using the directions below.

10. Click SAVE if changes have been made.

WARNING! 1. If modifications cannot be made for the “Quarter Grade” settings, please submit a

Quick-IT or contact the USS Help Desk at 702-799-3300.

2. If modifications need to be made for the Semester Grade Compositing only, contact the site administrator that manages Infinite Campus (usually an assistant principal) before submitting a Quick-IT or contacting the USS Help Desk at 702-799-3300. NOTE: The settings for the Grade Calc Options may be locked at the site level and changes will need to be completed by that administrator.

Important! Semester Exams cannot weigh more than 20% of the Semester Grade for any class and MUST be weighted per the following schedule for all courses aligned to an End of Course exam:

2018-2019 School Year: 10%

2019-2020 School Year: 15%

2020-2021 School Year: 20%

Helpful Hint!

Reset to Default indicates that the current teacher has changed the original setting set for

the course. Teachers must receive approval by the administration to make changes.

Note: Semester Exam is already weighted as part of the

Composite grading for the Semester Grade.

NO check mark should be placed here. 8

Creating Categories Categories have been enhanced to allow teachers to create categories across multiple sections/periods at one time. Categories must

be set up prior to adding assignments.

1. Click the triple white SETTINGS arrows to expand the Settings window. 2. Select CATEGORIES in the Settings window. 3. Click ADD to create categories. 4. Enter a category Name. Put the weight amount in parenthesis after the title.

This ensures that the category weight will show on the Parent Portal.

5. Check each section that uses this category. 6. Enter the category Weight, as determined by

the site administration. 7. Optional: Enter a number to place the categories

in a Sequence. Leave the 0 and the categories will be placed in alphabetical order.

8. Exclude from Calculation: A category can be excluded from the overall grade calculation.

9. Click SAVE.

Weight examples for categories:

Example 1:

Formative (10%) 10%

Summative (90%) 90%

Does Not Count Towards Grade (0%) 0%

Example 2:

Homework (0%) 0%

Classwork/Quizzes (10%) 10%

Projects/Presentations (45%) 45%


Tests (45%) 45%

Best Practice in Grading: Formative scores should

not have an impact on the overall grade. A range

of 0% - 10% for a Formative category would be

appropriate. If 0% is selected, make sure to check

the Exclude from Calculation box.

Example:

Formative (0%) 0%

Summative (100%) 100%

Scoring Assignments 1. You must be in the correct Term, Section, and Task for the

assignment to appear.

2. Click double blue arrows to expand or collapse

assignment window.

3. Fill Scores/Comments allows mass scoring options.

When scoring assignments using Marks, type the appropriate

mark such as: E, S, N, minF, Yes, or No (a numeric value can be

used, as well as Fill Scores/Comments, if desired).

Grade Book Tip!

Use the Late Assignment Report to communicate with

parents and students. This report is available in the Index

Menu for Campus Instruction, in Custom Links and

Reports > Late Assignment Report.

IMPORTANT!

Do not forget to click SAVE after entering grades in the grade book!

Each time grades are updated and saved, they will appear on the parent and student portal.

Best Practice in Grading:

Select “L=Late” to flag

work that has not been

turned in (make a note in

comments that it is

missing). This will show

up on custom progress

reports and the parent

portal.

Using the “M=Missing”

will assign an automatic

zero. This is punitive and

is an inaccurate reflection

of student progress.

In Display Details, select SHOW STUDENT NUMBERS. 5. Select the desired Page Orientation. 6. In Assignment Properties, select SHOW STUDENT

INSTRUCTIONS. 7. In Student Assignment Grid, select all choices. 8. In Grading Task Grid, select SHOW PERCENT AND

Grade Book Tip!

Following these instructions prevents

students from knowing each other’s grades

when looking at a posted list. Using

"Student Names" as the “Student Sort

Preference” generates the printed report in

student alpha order causing the use of the

Student ID to be null.

As a recommendation, change the

preference choice each time, so student

grades are listed in a different order.

Transfer Grades

Entering Transfer Grades Teachers are not required to use transfer grades. When a student enrolls in a section, scores/grades do not automatically transfer.

The scores/grades need to be hand entered by the teacher into the new section. A Student Summary Report can facilitate this

process.

If a student transfers into a semester credit-bearing

class in the second or fourth quarter, teachers can

enter an In Progress Q1 or Q3 grade and still have

composite grading calculate properly.

Select the appropriate Term, Section, and select QUARTER GRADE for the Task.

Click the +ADD button to create an assignment. Enter the title Transfer Grade (See pages 10 and

11 for additional steps for creating an assignment).

IMPORTANT!

1. When entering the score for a new Transfer Grade assignment, all other existing students must be excluded for the assignment. (See page 11 for Exempt grade code.)

2. If the transfer student has a Q1 or Q3 grade

posted by the administration, verify that both the percentage and letter grade are entered. Provide the administration with the percentage or letter grade for the posted Q1 or Q3 grade if the information is missing.

3. The District-set Grade Calc Options will calculate the transfer grade into the

Semester Grade upon posting.

Grade Book Tips! 1. After clicking the SAVE button, click SCORE to enter the the transfer grade for the new student and then EXCLUDE existing students.

2. After entering the student transfer grade, exclude the assignments that have already been scored for the other students in the section. This removes the assignments from the student’s “To Do List” in the portal.

Canvas Passback to Infinite Campus These directions are only for teachers using the Canvas Learning Management System (LMS) grade book.

Canvas (LMS) grades sync with the Infinite Campus (IC) Grade Book, “passing” assignments and grades from Canvas to Infinite

Campus nightly. The assignment names and scores are placed in the Infinite Campus (IC) Grade Book in an “Uncategorized

Assignments” list. Assignments to be used for the calculation of the student’s Quarter and Semester Grades can be moved into the

teacher’s created Infinite Campus (IC) Grade Book categories (categories created by the teacher in the IC Grade Book).

Teachers using the Canvas (LMS) do not manage scoring in the Infinite Campus (IC) Grade Book. All assignments are created and

scored in Canvas. This grading process only flows in one direction. If a teacher wishes to enter a new score or make a score change,

it must be done in Canvas.

Viewing “Uncategorized Assignments”

1. Select GRADE BOOK from the Index Menu on the left. 2. Select the correct Term, Section, and set Task to QUARTER GRADE. 3. If Canvas assignments are available to be passed into Infinite Campus,

a tab will appear next to the drop-down for Task. Click the tab to open the list of assignments. Assignments in this list are not included in the grade calculation by default.

4. From the Assignments to Align to Grade Book window, move the assignments to Quarter Grade or Semester Exam, as appropriate, by clicking on the assignment name to view the Assignment Detail window.
